Location: Pyin Oo Lwin

May Myo (or May Town), as Pyin Oo Lwin was once called, was a retreat for the British from the searing heat of Mandalay in the hot season. It still retains much of its quaintness with lots of Edwardian-style houses despite the new buildings which are being built to house the increasing number of immigrants from other parts of the State and beyond and its lies in the cool mountains about one and a half hours’ drive from Mandalay.
